Headed for Home Port
The Charlevoix South Pier Light Tower guides boats to the Pine River Channel, which leads to Round Lake of Charlevoix, Michigan. Besides fishermen and private pleasure boats, the main commercial beneficiaries of this lighthouse are the Beaver Island ferries, one of which is the Beaver Islander, shown in the picture.
The Beaver Islander, built by the Sturgeon Bay Shipbuilding Company in 1962, can carry 10 vehicles and 172 passengers to Beaver Island, the largest island in Lake Michigan.
